"We rise by lifting others."

--Robert Green Ingersoll

""Thank you so much for all you did to make my wish come true. We had the trip of a lifetime. My son is telling everyone he had the best birthday ever and that warms my heart. You made it all happen and I cannot begin to thank you enough. You really were my 'Fairygodmother'!""

--Karen from Nebraska

WHERE MAGIC HAPPENS

Fairygodmother Foundation has a simple mission: To grant wishes to adults facing terminal illness. The implementation of that mission falls on the shoulders of our Wish Granting Department, the very heart of our organization.

This is where you will find more detailed information about our wish granting program. Read some of our success stories—wishes that we have already granted. While you are here, take a moment to look over our guidelines and see if someone you love qualifies for a wish. If so, you can request an application simply by filling out the online form. You can also learn about our current wish needs and possibly help make some magic yourself.

All of our wish recipients hope for something magical, a glimmer of light and hope. They yearn for a moment of pure joy that will allow them to set aside their illness and enjoy themselves, if only for a brief time.

It’s that hope—that desire for a moment of pure joy—that drives us here at Fairygodmother Foundation. From our Board of Directors, staff, Associate Board, and volunteers to our donors and the businesses that provide products and services. Together, we are united in the deep desire to write storybook endings for some remarkable stories.

This is the place where magic happens.
